Hey, I am a Peace Corp volunteer from Puerto Rico who is currently serving in Machala, Ecuador. I love traveling and meeting new people and cultures wherever I go. When I travel the experience is what matters. You guys can call me Yoni. Also, take into account I am gay, just in case that bothers you. I do not bite tho, I am a pretty good person.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I like meeting new peoples and I think this in an excellent way of doing it. I like moving around. I think this can be the best way to actually meet the cities that I visit and meet great people. Y pues, hay que vivir la vida.
Music, Movies, and Books
Way too many movies and series, from action, comedy, horror, fantasy, indy. Im reading a few books right now, mostly about education, history and GoT. I love all kind of music.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Burned my feets while I was walking in Petra. Met a friendly shark while scuba diving in Culebra, Puerto Rico. Got lost in Cuba. Drove over 10 hours with friends (nonstop) in upstate New York and Ontario. I constantly get lost while driving in the Puertorican mountain system. I have been in like 20 countries.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you guys some spanish. I can also talk about Puerto Rican culture and other hispanic and latino countries and how funny is to live in the Caribbean. We can also cook and hang out. I did my bachelor's in anthropology and my masters in culture of peace, education and international development.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I would be cool to have some cultural exchange and just to meet new people. I can also cook with you guys.
My Interests
